The "preppy look".....I love wearing colored tights in the winter with corduroy skirts or long dresses. And, since we do outdoor retail year round, I want to layer as much as possible. Now to FIND them was a challenge....especially made in the USA.

Having not been in a retail store in a very long time (I shop thrift stores mostly), I ventured into Kohls....after all, I did not want used tights!

They had lots of sales on Vera Wang's stuff, Simply Vera...made in the USA! Thankfully the ones I found were on sale....got some thigh-high avocado green tights, stretch leggings in black and a pair of decorative brown cable-knit look tights.

I'm so excited!

(after looking in Walgreen's and finding "Made in China" stuff, I walked out".

Di,Those sound great. I wear the heavy pantyhose underneath my jeans and dress slacks in the winter. Kushyfoot microfiber tights are nice, too. Glad you found what you like. I also like the cable-knit look!

For me, less is better. I normally wear skirts with sandals in summer. In winter I might wear closed-toe shoes with ankle socks under pants or jeans, but only when it's too cold for sandals. Fortunately, my workplace is casual - I don't think I could go back to wearing pantyhose or tights now.

yonuh,Well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Good thing we're all different. It'd be mighty boring otherwise. You live in a much warmer climate than I. So I fully understand what you're saying!Happy Thanksgiving lady!

Di, do you live in Alaska? That's a lotta clothes! Just kidding. Actually, I understand that when you're outdoors for quite a while--especially if you're not participating in a sport--you can get cold real quick.
